Pennsylvania American Water Kicks Off 2013 Stream of Learning Scholarship Program

Pennsylvania American Water today announced that applications are being
accepted for its 2013 Stream of Learning Scholarship Program to
provide college scholarship assistance to students who are planning to
pursue careers in the water and wastewater industry. The program is
designed to support outstanding students living in Pennsylvania American
Water's service territories who are charting a course of study in
specific fields, ranging from engineering to environmental science,
which are crucial to the water and wastewater business.

The company will award scholarships of $2,000 each to 10 students who
are selected through the program's application process. Applicants must
meet the following criteria:

Students must currently live in one of Pennsylvania American Water's
service areas. (Students can attend college outside of the company's
service territory.)

Students must plan to attend a two- or four-year college or technical
school.

Students must plan to study environmental science, evironmental
engineering, biology or chemistry.

"Previous winners of our Stream of Learning Scholarships have
been extremely bright, dedicated students who have much to offer for the
future of our industry," said Kathy L. Pape, president of Pennsylvania
American Water. "Through this program, we're looking to attract more
talented young people who will share our commitment to maintaining
public health, protecting the environment and promoting economic
development."

Winners will be selected by a panel of judges and will receive their
awards in May. Family members of Pennsylvania American Water employees
are not eligible.

This month, the company is sending scholarship brochures and
applications to high school guidance counselors throughout its service
territory. Applications can be downloaded from the company's Web site at www.pennsylvaniaamwater.com
and must be postmarked by February 28, 2013.
